Summons a pool of quicksand under an enemy's feet, rooting them in place and inflicting Nature damage every second.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Quicksand is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 500 yards. It triggers Entrapped.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 500 yards. It triggers spell id 136859.

What it does

Quicksand is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 30 sec cooldown. It also casts Entrapped.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
